It's good to go at night, you get more of experience that way. The nightlife wasn't so busy, probably due to the cold, plus we were the only ones on the door so it made it more intimate. Zoe is very knowledgeable very polite, and has passion for the history of St Petersburg.

Fun tour

Glory_B, Jul 2024
Fun historical walking tour of St Pete’s. Guide was friendly and wore a fun costume. I’m not sure St Pete’s is haunted as a lot of the stories I felt could be explained with logical deductions but it was a great way to learn about the city. It was hot though. This is Florida. Bring bug spray and a hat.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Hi, Glory! Glad you had a fun time exploring St. Pete’s dark history with us! Our guides love bringing the stories to life—costumes and all! We’d love to have you join us again for another adventure (maybe in cooler weather next time).
